I've heard that I can stream to this channel from outside of China and may one day be able to provide English broadcasts to it if you guys should want it. Sorry I don't understand your post. Unless someone provides a restream on douyu.tv I won't be able to watch anything that used to be on twitch.tv On May 19 2014 17:05 ReboundEU wrote: Why would it be blocked? Twitch will continue as is because it's streams don't go against regulations. It streams games (MAYBE block some of those games). What u see now from twitch in China should still work. Youtube is a whole other beast. You can put videos there lifetime and can cover ANY subject possible including delicate ones for which some countries may feel it's a bad thing. We don't want them politicians to feel threatened by the "internet truth" don't we? Twitch is just for games. I honestly don't see how Twitch could ever be blocked in China as long as it continues doing what it did so far. Only difference now is u will see more adds then a teleshopping channel and also G+ integrated hardcore in it. Youtube and G+ are blocked, so depending on how they integrate/merge Twitch into Youtube, then it will definitely be blocked. | ||

Should i also add they also know where u live? trololo @Endy maybe they will come to an agreement to keep G+ out of it in China...they care more about viewership (which means $$) then to risk completely blocking it and literally have "a whole continent" less income...atleast that's how i personally think. Who knows what's in their minds. Let's just hope u guys are not effected. | ||

Get more people looking at Twitch.tv in the next 48hours and potentially get more viewers. Will be interesting if Google does in fact push more people into viewing Twitch.tv | ||

The redesign and forcing + on people for youtube make me say worry. But thinking what Facebook would have done instead of Google, make me a bit less worried. | ||

I guess this may improve CPM for streamers as it's hard to have it be less than what twitch is currently paying, but personally I would have preferred to see Microsoft buy them over Youtube. At least with MS there is the chance that they won't fuck twitch with all the crap google have done to youtube since they acquired it way back. | ||

I for one couldn't be happier with this. It's finally a hope that I will be able to watch SC2 without constant lag issues, that the stream won't be interrupted in the middle of a game because Twitch just felt like putting all their serves offline for an hour. Because as much as everyone hates Google, their services have one unifing feature: they fucking work. Also, I really don't get all this "Google ruined Youtube" talk. I don't know about enyone else, but I go to youtube to watch videos and what exactly changed on that? Oh, you now need G+ to participate in the most idiotic comment enviroment known to mankind? If you really, really care about that, you can always just make a fake one, as easily as you could make a youtube account before ... TL;DR: It's about time! | ||

Who looks stupid now, heh? Being able to invest in content delivery contracts/infrastructure has nothing to do with how much Google thinks they are worth. cash =/= capitalization | ||
